For patients who have been diagnosed with a chronic or rare disease, or life-threatening illness, figuring out how to pay for their out-of-pocket prescription costs can be challenging. In fact, nearly three in 10 people in the U.S. struggle to afford the medications they need according to a KFF poll from last year.
This TIME Magazine article, titled “What to do if you can’t afford your medications,” shares the story of several patients and highlights resources available to help ease the financial burden for patients. The PAN Foundation and our free, online FundFinder application are listed as key resources for patients looking for financial assistance.
